Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1109: Chapter 1019: Those Years 29

Lin Qianqian’s heart was filled with venomous hatred for Wen Shuangshuang. Last time, she tried to manipulate Wen Shuangshuang into marrying Bai Xiaojie, whom she considered a scumbag. However, Wen Shuangshuang didn’t play by the rules, dodged the trap, and even ruined her reputation.

Lately, Lin Qianqian has been living in misery, always feeling that when she goes out, people are whispering about her behind her back, saying she’s two-timing and of poor character.

Even though those people might not really be talking about her, Lin Qianqian was haunted and suspicious. Whenever others were speaking behind her back, even if it wasn’t about her, she felt they were gossiping about her.

This wasn’t such a big issue, after all, Lin Qianqian knew that in less than two years, once the economic boom brought by the college entrance exam restoration happened, she could leave this place.

By then, the world would be vast and no one would know about her past. At worst, she wouldn’t come back for the rest of her life, so she wouldn’t hear those gossips anymore.

What truly frightened Lin Qianqian was Qu Chengdong’s change in attitude toward her.

At the beginning of their relationship, Qu Chengdong would fulfill any of Lin Qianqian’s wishes, completely devoted to her. Lin Qianqian said east, and he wouldn’t go west; she said one, he wouldn’t say two. Truly, he was the epitome of a perfect man.

But ever since that incident, although Lin Qianqian used the drastic measure of jumping into the river to win Qu Chengdong’s heart back,

it only stopped Qu Chengdong from treating her coldly. As for the previous devotion, granting her every wish, spending money on her lavishly, those privileges were all gone.

Now, Qu Chengdong’s attitude toward Lin Qianqian was that of an ordinary couple of this era. He still took care of her, but that was all. The excessive pampering and submission were no longer there.

Lin Qianqian was dissatisfied, but she didn’t dare to confront Qu Chengdong. Having been reborn, she couldn’t afford to lose the golden ticket and support she had painstakingly secured.

No matter how much Lin Qianqian tried to please Qu Chengdong, his attitude remained lukewarm and unchanged.

While there was panic in Lin Qianqian’s heart, she couldn’t help but resent Wen Shuangshuang for leading her to this situation, and she wanted revenge on Wen Shuangshuang.

Thinking of revenge on Wen Shuangshuang, Lin Qianqian first thought of Lin Laoer, who helped ruin Zhou Meijuan.

Fueled by bitterness, Lin Qianqian believed if she couldn’t pair Bai Xiaojie with Wen Shuangshuang, then she could push Wen Shuangshuang and that distasteful rogue Lin Laoer together, since Bai Xiaojie, despite being a jerk, was far superior to Lin Laoer in every way.

Of course, Lin Qianqian knew that even Bai Xiaojie who seemed decent superficially wouldn’t attract Wen Shuangshuang, let alone someone like Lin Laoer.

Thus, Lin Qianqian came up with a particularly sinister plan. She wanted Lin Laoer to force himself on Wen Shuangshuang, making the raw rice cooked, and then catch them in the act with a group of people, just like they exposed Zhou Meijuan.

This way, if Wen Shuangshuang wanted to stay in the production team, she would have no choice but to marry Lin Laoer.

However, Lin Laoer wasn’t an idiot. Wen Shuangshuang had quite a reputation in the production team, primarily for her capability.

One woman, working harder than a man, earning one and a half times the work points. A sack full of grains was so heavy that even a man struggled to carry it, yet Wen Shuangshuang could lift it effortlessly and stride off.

In the whole production team, no one worked as swiftly as Wen Shuangshuang. She earned the nickname of Iron Lady.

With such a strong and capable woman who, despite her beautiful appearance, was very tomboyish, Lin Laoer wasn’t even sure if when he attempted to cook the rice with Wen Shuangshuang, she’d turn around and beat him up instead.

Even though Lin Laoer was a rogue, he was disliked but not hated by the production team, indicating he wasn’t a fool.

Lin Laoer knew Wen Shuangshuang wasn’t like Zhou Meijuan, who was weak, foolish, and powerless. If he couldn’t control Wen Shuangshuang, it would be he who suffered, and Lin Qianqian certainly wouldn’t save him.

So Lin Laoer never considered agreeing to Lin Qianqian’s request from the start, but because Lin Qianqian had a formidable father, Lin Laoer didn’t dare to refuse her outright.

Thus, Lin Laoer set an exorbitantly high price, keeping Lin Qianqian on a leash, neither refusing outright nor setting an achievable price for her.

Due to a series of events lately, Lin Qianqian’s head, which wasn’t particularly clever to begin with, was even more muddled.

She didn’t see that Lin Laoer was deliberately brushing her off and thought that it was only because Lin Laoer was too greedy.

Lin Qianqian was from the reborn time where one thousand yuan wasn’t enough to cover a month’s living expenses.

After being reborn, she hadn’t lived through two days of hardship before latching onto Qu Chengdong, who would spend money like water for her. Except for scarce materials, Qu Chengdong fulfilled all her desires.

Thus instinctively, Lin Qianqian lacked sensitivity toward the figure of a thousand and never considered that even the free-spending Qu Chengdong of her era couldn’t casually fork out a thousand yuan at once.

Because of this, Lin Qianqian single-mindedly believed Lin Laoer was simply greedy.

Though she wasn’t sensitive to money, Lin Qianqian still had common sense and knew she couldn’t possibly come up with the thousand yuan Lin Laoer wanted right now.

Recalling the over three hundred yuan she’d saved from what Qu Chengdong had given her, combined with the two hundred yuan her father Lin Cheng’an had hidden that she was aware of, Lin Qianqian calculated she could scrape together five hundred yuan.

Thinking that five hundred yuan should persuade Lin Laoer, Lin Qianqian continued to persuade him.

”I really don’t have a thousand yuan, the most I can offer is five hundred. Five hundred yuan isn’t a small sum either.

And if you promise to fulfill my request, following the methods I tell you, you can get a bride for free.

That Wen Shuangshuang is a stunning beauty. You’d gain such a pretty bride and five hundred yuan. In the future, you’d have both a beautiful wife and money. What’s there not to be satisfied with?”

Lin Qianqian’s words admittedly held a significant temptation for Lin Laoer, causing his heart to race.

But soon, the image of Wen Shuangshuang efficiently carrying two two-hundred-pound sacks on her slender shoulders, her breath steady and complexion unchanged, flashed in Lin Laoer’s mind, like a bucket of cold water splashing down, immediately waking up his flight of fancy.

As good as money was, one needed to live to spend it, and though he wanted a pretty wife, he needed the capability to claim her.

Once clear-headed, when Lin Laoer looked at Lin Qianqian’s expectant expression, he felt a sense of revulsion.

Was Lin Qianqian truly that stupid, unaware of Wen Shuangshuang’s daily hard work? How could she believe he could overcome Wen Shuangshuang like that?
